1 ODWC Paddlefish Research Center --- a self-funded and sustainable government operation Jason D. Schooley Oklahoma Dept. of Wildlife Conservation Paddlefish Research Center

2 Funds from caviar sales are the byproduct of a well-managed fishery - Dr. Dennis Scarnecchia, Univ. of Idaho

3 What is caviar? Officially, salted roe from beluga sturgeon Huso huso

4 What is caviar?

5 What is caviar?

6 What is caviar?

7 Beluga Caviar = $$$

8 Caspian Stock Collapse

9 Caspian Stock Collapse

10 Restricted Trade Overfishing Habitat loss Lack of management

11 Restricted Trade Endangered 1996 Critically Endangered 2010 US Import prohibited 2005

12 Species Domino Effect Collapse or regulation of one species / stock shift harvest pressure to a surrogate or similar species Sturgeon Paddlefish

13 American Paddlefish Close relative of the sturgeon (same family) Large fish (125 lbs in OK) Paddlefish caviar is similar to beluga 450,000 eggs (20lbs, 25% of body weight)

14 Paddlefish Caviar Malossol Retails up to $30/oz

15 Paddlefish Range

16 Oklahoma Paddlefish Paddlefish Research Center 103 lbs

17 Oklahoma Paddlefish Stocks are stable / reproducing Commercial fishing prohibited in 1993 Sport angling tradition

18 Oklahoma Paddlefish Illegal harvest was occurring Regulations prohibited sale or trade of paddlefish roe (3 lbs for personal use) Discarded by most anglers Effective management required in-depth stock assessment Requires fish sacrifice

19 Stock Assessment Eggs, testes, and gonadal fat bodies: sexual maturity, health, etc. Length, weight, and sex Otolith, jaw, and fin ray: aging structures Rostrum tip: coded wire tags Fin sample: genetics

20 The idea Need data for stock assessment Anglers are harvesting fish and discarding the roe ODWC could capture the data by using angler-harvested specimens Roe could be made into caviar and sold to fund the program

21 The idea Technically, not an original one Cooperative effort MT/ND at Intake

22 The philosophy Funds from caviar sales are the byproduct of a well-managed fishery - Dr. Dennis Scarnecchia, Univ. of Idaho

23 ODWC opens PRC 2008, ODWC opens Paddlefish Research Center on the Neosho River / Grand Lake Free fish cleaning in exchange for biological data and roe salvage

24 Humble beginnings Twin Bridges State Park

34 Value Added Free fish cleaning and bait for anglers Fish remains are repurposed Stock assessment data for ODWC Angler permit & survey Caviar proceeds benefit statewide

35 The Complexity HACCP analysis, HACCP Plan Seafood allergen Environmental contaminants Pathogens Facility sanitation, GMPs Inspection by multiple entities

36 The Complexity

37 The Complexity CITES Non-Detriment Finding (NDF) Traceability Sustainability

38 Traceability Demonstrate chain of custody Ensure source of caviar Ensure legality

39 Sustainability Monitor and document stock status Evaluate impacts of harvest on stock Demonstrate control via harvest management Have a plan

40 The Successes Statewide Management Plan Published findings Research Grants Angler Harvest Ecological Data Responsible Management Research Internship Program Law Enforcement Mgmt. feedback loops

41 Conclusions ODWC mission develop and maintain responsible use and enjoyment of OK fish and wildlife resources

42 Conclusions Mgmt. Plan Philosophy Paddlefish are a valuable resource Angling is important The resource should benefit many, not few Harvest data are critical for responsible mgmt. & anglers are a good source Evaluation, regulation, enforcement, education

43 Conclusions ODWC Paddlefish Research Center Self-funded Responsible Sustainable
